Libraries

There’s an add-on for the Arduino IDE that allows you to program the ESP32 using the Arduino IDE and its programming language. In this tutorial we’ll show you how to install the ESP32 board in the Arduino IDE on Mac OS X or Linux. Arduino Libraries Libraries are files written in C or C (.c,.cpp) which provide your sketches with extra functionality (e.g. The ability to control an LED matrix, or read an encoder, etc.). They were introduced in Arduino 0004.

The Arduino environment can be extended through the use of libraries, just like most programming platforms. Libraries provide extra functionality for use in sketches, e.g. working with hardware or manipulating data. To use a library in a sketch, select it from Sketch > Import Library.
A number of libraries come installed with the IDE, but you can also download or create your own. See these instructions for details on installing libraries. There's also a tutorial on writing your own libraries. See the API Style Guide for information on making a good Arduino-style API for your library.

Standard Libraries

EEPROM - reading and writing to 'permanent' storage
Ethernet - for connecting to the internet using the Arduino Ethernet Shield, Arduino Ethernet Shield 2 and Arduino Leonardo ETH
Firmata - for communicating with applications on the computer using a standard serial protocol.
